Chiding sounds crossword clue

58 Down · WSJ Crossword, June 25, 2026 · 4 letters

Answer

TSKS

TSKS (4 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Chiding sounds” is TSKS. It appears as 58 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of June 25, 2026, a Thursday puzzle titled “As a Rule” by Jake Halperin, and it fills 4 squares running top to bottom from row 12, column 15 of the 15×15 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with T and ends with S, and contains 0 vowels and 4 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Thursday puzzles lean harder on misdirection, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
